Tumbbad - My View

We are living in an era where the quantity of the movies has gone high but the quality of movies is seeing a low. This doesn't apply only to Kollywood but also to Hollywood and Bollywood. If there is one genre which is brutally affected by this quantity vs quality trend then it is the horror genre. The 95% of movies that are coming up under the horror genre is neither giving us fears, nightmares or revulsions. At one end the industry has started to rely merely only on jump scares which I feel like a cheap technique and total injustice to the horror genre. Jump scares are definitely needed in a movie but to what extent is the question.  We see many movies nowadays which travel only on jump scares devoiding us the terror and chill feel which is the very heart of a horror movie. On another end, we have horror movies which are full of comedy that makes us wonder if we are seeing a comedy movie or a horror movie. I strongly started to believe the age of horrors are g...

13 Reasons Why - My View

A must watch series which is haunting and beautiful. It sheds light on various activities which we do or have done in the past in our day to day life which might have hurt people lives in ways we could have never imagined. The series talks strongly on issues like bullying, sexual assault, character assaulting, negligence, friendship, betrayal, and love. This is kind of an eye opener and self-assessment one. A girl called Hannah takes her life and records 13 tapes explaining who all were responsible for her death. Along with the reasons behind her suicide the series talks about various social issues around us on a sublime note. Like the gay/lesbian, teenage emotions, domestic violence, drug abuse, gun culture and a lot. Great performances from all the leads and every single one have done full justice to their roles. When we go through different feelings like closure for Clay, helplessness for Hannah and anger to take apart Bryce's head then you know the performances ...

The Death of Superman - My View

One can’t just start writing about everything he wishes to or wants to. You need to be in a groove to do it and to be in the groove you need the content to push you into it. I have watched four movies this week and really wanted to write about at least two of them. However, things catch up and we never get a chance to write. Today it was completely different from where I couldn’t stop myself writing after seeing something, I love very much which was also presented in a perfect way. The movie is based on the comic of the same name which was a three-part series. However, the animation movie is made in two parts. The part one of the books and the movie focuses on Doomsday and Superman battle and its eventual ending. The movie also closely focuses on the relationship between Louis and Superman and to be honest it was beautiful. The main plot is about stopping the killing machine Doomsday from destroying all lives on Earth and what Superman and the JL team have to go through in ac...

Krishna Gaadi Veera Prema Gaadha - My View

I am not sure if my translation is right but I believe this is what it means "Chariot Krishna's Brave Love Story" or "Krishna's Brave Love Story". Whichever but both suits perfectly the movie. We have come across many movies where the title is completely absurd but in here it is the opposite. An apt title for the movie. In fact, once the movie is over once can understand the meaning of the title and can relate more to it.  This shows how much effort and sincere the team has been behind the movie. A timid man is in love with a henchman's sister. To win his love he needs to accomplish a task which takes him on an emotional journey. The plot is pretty simple and in fact, we have seen this in many movies in the past. However, the treatment of this storyline is what makes this movie a memorable watch. The movie doesn't take the serious route rather takes the laugh riot. This movie has many moments where you will be all smiles or laughing your...

Aruvi - My View

Wondering how and where to start about the movie. This movie offers a lot of things and I am having a difficulty which one to start with. Should it be on the characters or premise or content or actors or the team. All deserve a standing applause for the excellent product called Aruvi. The story is about a girl called aruvi and her life. This is a story line, we all are aware of but what sets aruvi different is the content and treatment. The incidents that happen in her story are something that you might not think of but might have heard of in your surroundings. Her happiness, dream, fight, pride, loss, betrayal and sadness form the whole story which also shows the dark world we live in. There are many slapping moments all through the movie which you are aware of but ignore in your day to day life like exploiting a powerless if you have power and many more. This movie will make you to remind all those dark stuffs and hit you hard like a slap on your face. That hard hitting tru...

Vikram Vedha - My View

Vikram Vedha is a movie which shouldn't be missed. I don't remember how many times I have started a movie with such positive quote but I am I am happy this one start on the good note. Not only my view but the movie too starts out on the good positive note. The directors clearly make the audience to prepare for the movie from the movie title to the title cards. The plot of the story is Vedha who is a gangster presents puzzles to Vikram the police officer. How Vikram solves the puzzles and what it leads to is the rest of the story. My friend Sathish always use to say this (a director) half of the movie is done when the casting is done, The movies perfection and satisfying performance is due to the perfect casting, Right from the leads to the support characters all are cast perfectly and all have delivered a commanding performance. The sharp dialogues, BGM and excellent shots all through the movie are a huge plus for the movie. The first half was super fast and you ...

Death Parade - Episode 3 (Rolling Ballade) - My View

More 9 episodes to go but just this episode is enough to put this series on my best list. This series is simply superb and episode 3 is magical and full of love. I am not sure if I am a sensitive guy or what but this episode made me cry that's how heart touching it was. Completely different from the last two episodes and touches your heart. It is full of warmth and love and emotions high. This episode was more like enjoying a heartfelt romance with few twists. Love, rejection, acceptance, fear of expressing and happy ending all these are seen in this episode. Have you ever enjoyed a coffee leisurely staring at the pouring rain and the clouds? If you did you will know it is a serene feel and you would love to freeze that moment in your life and stay for an eternal in there. That's the kind of feel this episode gives to us. An episode of just 29-22 mins gives you a state which is very difficult to enjoy in real life. You watch the series or not that is secondary b...
